This book does have an underlying compassion that makes me like it better than Wimpy Kid. I agree with you, DaNae.

Still don't - I bet they would if it had his real name on it. I wanted to read Quikpick to my son when it first came out, but our library didn’t have it back then.

I'm just finishing a reading to my fifth graders of the Riddleburger masterpiece THE QUICKPICK ADVENTURE SOCIETY. Gag reflex aside, why wasn't that book made into a series? Angleberbeger/Riddleburger brings to the oh so popular mixed-media-comedic-novel an underlying dose of genuine compassion, which rises him above the level of wimpy laughs.
